Minecraft: The Kingdom of Yuanshen

Chapter 61
Ghast, English name Ghast (not Ghost), also known as hell jellyfish, ghosts and so on.But I personally think the most appropriate title is "Hell Bomber", because they can launch ghast fireballs made of the same material as fire bombs, which will explode and burn after hitting.

Their attack is one of the most powerful biological attacks in "Minecraft". There are even data showing that its power at close range is higher than that of creeper explosions.

If it was [-] creepers, I wouldn't be afraid of anything, but [-] hell bombers flew over, and the dense ghast fireballs shot all over the sky, and our fortress was useless.

"Let's hide in the underground corridor we just dug first." Victor suggested, "This thing is hard to hit."

"No. As far as I know, only blocks with an explosion resistance of 20.17 or above can withstand the fireball of the ghast. But we only have mud here now, and the explosion resistance of the soil is only 2.5, so it can't stand the explosion at all." I said.

"Then what should we do?" Chen Xiaolin asked me, "We don't have wood to make picks or anything, and we can't get stones to block it."

The evil spirits are overwhelming, gradually approaching, and are already firing at another fortress not far in front of us.They screamed every time they fired a fireball, and five thousand ghasts screamed together, and the sound resounded through the sky, shaking my eardrums.

Their fireballs raged over the fortress like a storm. As expected of the hell bombers, it was really a carpet bombing. Not a single blade of grass grew, and all they could see was black smoke and open flames. The dust was flying and the ground was shaking endlessly.

In just a few tens of seconds, the fortress was razed to the ground, leaving only a big pit full of black smoke, and no one was left.

"Captain No. [-], Captain No. [-] asked you to have a meeting below." Captain Bonovyeva, the No. [-] captain, turned to the wall with a smile and said to Bu Xin.

Bu Xin was a little embarrassed seeing her, hesitated for a moment, and said to Victor and me: "Which of you two will go with me?"

"Me." Seeing that he looked uncertain, I had no choice but to step forward.

I went with him to the meeting below.The captains of the eight teams all gathered in the enclosed open space below, arguing about something, their faces were flushed, you won't let me, I won't let you.

"Even if you dig by hand, you have to dig through the stone layer!" Fifth Captain Kasanov shouted loudly.

"Don't talk, it takes 7.5 seconds to dig out a rock with bare hands, and we can't afford it if we have a large number of people. We should adopt guerrilla tactics..." the first team leader Weiss discouraged.

"Ghosts are very fragile. 56 people standing together and shooting arrows can stop their footsteps, as long as their speed can't keep up with the speed of death." Captain Seven suggested.

"Two arrows to one, very good. There are 56 of us here, and there is only half a group of arrows left after the wave just now. How many can we shoot?" Captain Six looked contemptuous.

Bu Xin and I watched helplessly as they were arguing, but we couldn't figure out why.The second captain, Wu Haoxuan, was very busy trying to persuade this one and then that one, but he still couldn't control the situation.

However, listening to their heated discussion, a rudimentary strategy appeared in my mind, which could be dealt with temporarily. As long as it was durable enough, it could withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of thousands of ghasts.

"I have an idea, but let them be quiet first." I said to Bu Xin.

"I'm coming. Quiet me!" Bu Xin shouted like thunder, and with a "clang" he drew out his sword and stuck it on the ground.

Everyone was startled by the voice, they all turned their heads and stared at him with wide eyes.This time it was quiet.

When I saw this, in order to avoid any further disputes and because time was running out, I walked up to them without waiting for them to speak, and said straight to the point:

"Everyone, I have an idea. Ghasts are nothing more than fireballs. To resist fireballs, in addition to using cubes with high explosion resistance, you can use water to counteract them, use swords to hit them back, raise shields to block them, etc. As everyone said, Digging stones is time-consuming, there are not enough arrows to avoid, and there is no water, so we can only use shields and swords first."

"That's right. But once you blow up one piece, you lose sight of the other..." Captain Six said.

"So we need a formation like an iron barrel to gather everyone together." I continued, and gestured with my hand, "This formation is like a turtle shell with thorns, one layer is a shield, which is responsible for defense, and one layer is a shield. Layers are swords, responsible for counterattack, wrapped layer by layer, and this coordination can be used to solve the defect of not being able to attack when defending."

"What about durability? Once the shield is exploded..." Weiss said.

"Alternate offense and defense, let the one with the sword in the back change the shield, and the one in the front with the shield change the sword." I said, "Guys, time is short, do you have any problems with my method?"

After hearing this, the captains were thoughtful. Although they had some doubts in their hearts, no one raised any rebuttals.Because no matter how you look at it, this method seems to be the most feasible method at present.

"I think it's okay. If you can't mention any fatal flaws, then do as he says." Wu Haoxuan said.

"Okay... let's go!" They gritted their teeth and nodded, turned around and shouted to their respective teammates, "All gather!"

Whether they were in the underground corridor or on the fortress wall, they all quickly gathered in the open space, and the 56 people consciously stood in a row of seven according to the team.Wu Haoxuan came over and said to me with a serious face: "Brothers of the fourth team, I will leave it to you to set up the formation. Just now, my team members on the top sent a message to tell me that the only four fortresses in front of us All were razed to the ground, and now the evil spirits have come."

"En." I nodded, walked to the front of the team and said to the team captains, "Several captains, please select the one with the best archery skills in the team."

Eight people, including Chen Xiaolin, came out and stood in front of me.

"You guys wait here first. The best fighters from each team stand in a circle with their backs to their backs holding swords." I said, "Your task is to shoot back the fireballs shot by the ghast as quickly as possible .”

The eight people quickly stood up, holding iron swords, shining armor, and high spirits.

"The strongest person from each team goes out, holds a shield, and stands outside the eight of them." I continued to arrange, "Your task is to protect them."

A few well-built young men came out, carrying shields, standing in front of the eight people with their heads held high.

"The captain of each team, and the eight archers just now, you are also responsible for knocking back the fireball with your sword. Now stand around them and squat down." I continued.

Wu Haoxuan, Chen Xiaolin and the others took out their swords from their backpacks and trotted over.

"The remaining people, form a circle at the outermost point, raise their shields to protect the people behind, and also squat down." I gave the final instruction.

Fifty-five people were completed under my arrangement. All of them stood in a circle in iron armor, which looked like a large convex mirror shining with silver light, shining in the sun.

"Shield holders, hold the shield at an angle of about 60 degrees in the inner circle and about 30 degrees in the outer circle, higher than the top of the head." I ordered.

In the middle of the formation, two circles of shields were raised at once, and they were close to each other, so that the people behind the shields could not be seen, only the feet under the shields could be seen.If it was a convex mirror just now, it really looks like a tortoise shell now.

"Sword holders, swing your sword quickly." I continued to order.

Suddenly, a bunch of swords grew out of the seams on the "turtle shell", and they swung quickly in the air. This time, the turtle shell became a large thorny cover.

"Okay, let's do it later." I nodded.

As soon as I finished speaking, several people in the team suddenly shouted to me: "Come here quickly, they are here! They are here!"

I turned my head and saw that most of the sky had been covered, and the dazzling sun that was still bright just now disappeared, blocked by thousands of evil spirits.The moment the sun was blocked, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, and even the temperature dropped a bit, and the chilly wind blew up.

My scalp was numb, I took out the shield from my backpack, and scurried into the team.When I looked from a distance before, I didn't have such a terrifying feeling, it was just shocking and inexplicable. Now that the soldiers are approaching the city, I can feel the suffocation and powerlessness.

All of us huddled together, not daring to let out the atmosphere, nervously watching the darkening world outside through the gaps in our shields.

　The paper is due this week, and I haven't written it yet, shit. . .
